That awkward moment when you're asked about rehab on live, national television? Yeah, that's what happened to Zac Efron on Tuesday.

The former Disney star hit the "Today" show with his costars Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller to promote their upcoming raunchy rom-com, "That Awkward Moment." And host Savannah Guthrie somewhat appeased those who have been keeping up with Efron's escapades, specifically reports that he had been to rehab for a drug addiction.

"I know last year was a little bit hard," Guthrie said. "There were reports that you'd gone to rehab. Anything you want to share about that? I think mostly your fans just want to know how you're doing and that you're OK."

".@zacefron's awkward moment? 'When I slipped and hit my face on the fountain in my house. You know what's cool?! A fountain in your house!'" said the tweet, which was later retweeted from Efron's account.

His costars previously lampooned him about the injury, claiming it occurred while he was with a girl "giving her the worst sexual experience of her life," they joked to E! News in December.

Joking aside, Efron appeared grateful after the TV spot, despite a seemingly rough exit for the actors, writing on his WhoSay account, "Thanks guys at the @TodayShow for hanging in there when it got crazy on the way out. ;-) And shout out to the NYPD for keeping us safe. It means a lot. #awkwardtour #thatawkwardmoment"

Has Zac Efron been to rehab in recent months? That was the word out Tuesday from unnamed sources, alleging to several media outlets that the "17 Again" actor had wrapped up treatment about five months ago.

The "Bound 2" parodies keep on coming! This time, Seth Rogen has teamed up with his "Neighbors" costar Zac Efron to spoof the explicit Kanye West and Kim Kardashian music video and simultaneously promote their upcoming comedy.

Kate Gosselin's twin girls were at a loss for words during their "Today" show interview Thursday that resulted in a pretty awkward exchange between them and their mother, the former star of TLC's "Jon & Kate + 8" and its hydra-like spinoffs and specials.
